Definitely, culture plays a big role when interacting with people from other countries. As you said, each country has their own values and norms, the way they deal with different situations or even with conflicts.

This one-cent coin has been in circulation since the late 1700s, but within the last 10 years, they have become more costly to produce than they’re worth. This has led to discussions about whether we should keep the penny, or drop it to save money. After hearing both sides of the argument, it only makes sense to stop producing the penny, benefiting everyone who has been
